Investigators are rounding up more than 100 people who tried to cash in at ATMs on the mass murders at the World Trade Center.

Seventy-four people were in custody yesterday afternoon, and investigators were searching for another 44 who they say ripped off the Municipal Credit Union in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.

“Those arrested or sought took advantage of the situation by withdrawing at least $5,000 more than their account balances,” Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau said.

Of those arrested in the latest roundup, 27 are city employees.

The credit union – essentially a bank for federal, city and state health-care workers – has its headquarters in lower Manhattan at Cortlandt Street, and the collapse of the city’s tallest buildings ravaged their computer system, crippling its ability to determine how much money was in its clients’ accounts.

“Upon learning this, MCU made a determination not to shut down its entire ATM operation because of the hardship it might impose on members, particularly those affected by the tragedy,” Morgenthau said.

Most of the credit union’s 330,000 members acted responsibly, but about 4,000 didn’t, overdrawing their accounts to the tune of $15 million, the DA said.

Investigators from the NYPD, the Department of Investigations and Morgenthau’s office rounded up the 90 worst offenders this past August. To date, 86 of them have been convicted or pleaded guilty.

Those arrested yesterday all allegedly overdrew their accounts by at least $5,000.

One, an unemployed postal worker, withdrew $6,306 – although she had just $20 in her account before Sept. 11, officials said.

Another, an E-ZPass employee, withdrew more than $7,000 in cash and Visa purchases, despite having had a balance of $111, Morgenthau said.

Also arrested were two Bronx sisters, Julieth Thompson and Elizabeth Valdes, who work in hospitals. Both were charged with overdrawing their accounts by $6,000. They didn’t immediately return a call for comment.

Morgenthau said all those arrested yesterday were given the opportunity to pay back the union, but had refused.

The union’s general counsel, Thomas Siciliano, said the agency has recovered $9.8 million and made arrangements with some of the suspects to get back another $1.2 million.

In the August arrests, 15 of the suspects were employed by the city Housing Authority. Three of them resigned, and the other 12 were fired, said DOI spokeswoman Emily Gest.
